Der Markt » White Coke Cans

Hello,

I looked in the refrigerator at work today. All of the cans of coke were white.

"Only diet", I said with disgust. So I looked under the sink where we keep our excess (warm) soda and there was a new plastic wrapped rectangle of soda with properly colored red plastic. "Good" I said, "at least in a little while I can have the cold can of sugary soda I am craving".

To my dismay, all of the cans inside were white.

It took me a couple of minutes to figure it out. Cans of proper non-diet coke are no longer red, they are white. Coke spent years training me that red means sugar and white means diet. Now they are giving us sugared coke in white cans?

I googled it and found out it has something to do with some Coke company marketing ploy to be seen as loving polar bears.

Am I the only one annoyed by this? It seems to me that to someone who is diabetic this might be a real problem.


Please help....


I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
